Higher education institutions (HEIs) have a pivotal role in preparing students to contribute to sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study focused on the University of Zimbabwe (UZ) and examined how SDGs were integrated into the field of textile science, apparel design, and technology (TSADT). The research…

This paper develops work undertaken by the "After Religious Education" project which seeks to reimagine Religious Education in schools for a context in which both religious and non-religious worldviews are taken seriously. One of the longstanding challenges for RE teachers in schools in England has been how to reconcile the broad range…

The rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) and the extensive use of social media have transformed how students engage with educational materials and interact with their peers. Collaborative learning (CL) platforms, empowered by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, have gained popularity due to their potential to enhance…

The study investigates the impact of a blended teaching approach combining Cooperative and Project-Based Learning (CPBL) on the critical thinking abilities and learning efficiency of vocational nursing students, aiming to determine its effectiveness compared to traditional teaching methods.

Knowledge-making in South African universities is set up and framed in particular ways, with a Euro-centric bias. We argue that many of the contributions that African first year entering students could make to this process of knowledge-making are dis-abled, leading to alienation. In this article, we argue for a different perspective and approach…

Specialized science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) schools create niche areas in an attempt to attract the best students, establish the school status, and justify their privilege to valuable resources. One Singapore STEM school does this in applied science learning to differentiate its curriculum from the national prescribed…
